Chelsea fullback Emerson upset with Lampard training and management

Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri isn't enjoying the training methods of manager Frank Lampard.

The 25-year-old began this season in Lampard's starting XI but was sidelined for four weeks due to a hamstring issue and recently lost his spot to a resurgent Marcos Alonso.

Tuttosport says Chelsea are expecting an offer from Juventus between €25m and €30m (£23m-£27.5m) for Emerson.

It also says that there are multiple reasons why the left-back has not been a success at Chelsea, with one potentially being that he does not like Lampard's management style and training methods.

Emerson does not appreciate “sergeants" such as Lampard, with the 41-year-old an active touchline presence who is known to favour intense training sessions.
